Developer Polyphony Digital is a group of perfectionists. Its attention to detail has led to the creation of some of the most detailed car models on the market. The realism presented in the Gran Turismo series is unmatched on consoles and e...

In the past I'll admit to spending more than I probably should have on peripherals such as arcade sticks, Jamma boards and Neo-Geo MVS hardware But that buyer's remorse I felt melts away upon hearing of this story from France, which takes g...

The club level of Findlay Toyota Tower at Sam Boyd Stadium is nearly empty when I arrive Friday afternoon. Hours earlier it was bustling, I must imagine, with Supercross riders, Milestone S.r.l. team members, members of the press and public...

Ba...
